I'd imagine one day this will be determined by whether you can copy the resulting 'brain' to another system

It'll work well until we can upload ourselves to the cloud and we'll have to revisit it

As technical civilization gains power, it becomes able to make things inbetween social categories. Is a simulation of a human brain a person? And one compressed to half-size? And compressed again? And again?

It's a grains-to-heap problem; eventually, you have to make an ugly choice.
